Prolactin Test in Pune — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Prolactin Test and what does the test check for?
The Prolactin Test measures the amount of prolactin hormone in your blood. Prolactin is produced by your pituitary gland and primarily controls milk production in women. This test helps detect hormonal imbalances that can affect reproductive health, menstrual cycles, and overall well-being.
Why is the Prolactin Test important?
This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like pituitary tumors, thyroid problems, and reproductive disorders. High prolactin levels can cause irregular periods, infertility, and unexpected milk production. In men, elevated levels may lead to decreased testosterone and sexual dysfunction, making early detection important for proper treatment.
Who should get the Prolactin Test?
You should consider this test if you experience visual disturbances, unexplained fatigue, irregular menstrual periods, or fertility issues. Women with unusual milk production when not breastfeeding and men with decreased libido or sexual dysfunction should also get tested. Your doctor may recommend it if they suspect pituitary or thyroid disorders.
What do high and low prolactin values mean?
High prolactin levels may indicate pituitary tumors, thyroid disorders, or certain medications affecting hormone production. Values above 26.53 ng/mL in women or 18.0 ng/mL in men typically require further investigation. Low levels are less concerning but may suggest pituitary gland problems affecting hormone production.
Should I avoid anything before the Prolactin Test?
No fasting is required for this test, but avoid stress and physical activity before blood collection as these can temporarily raise prolactin levels. Certain medications and supplements may also affect results, so inform your doctor about all medicines you're taking. The test is best done in the morning when hormone levels are most stable.
Do I need to fast before the Prolactin Test?
